This is a query that concerns most of the UPSC IAS Exam aspirants.

For example, a science graduate finds it tough to cover the huge syllabus of humanities subjects.
What one needs to keep in mind here is that the UPSC doesn’t expect the aspirants of Civil Services Exam to be experts/specialists in each of the subjects of its syllabus, rather have a generalist knowledge about all the topics. So first of all, take the fear out ...
